Festival Beyond the Black Box 2025

Do you like the live experience but want to experience more than in 'the black box' of the theatre and 'the white cube' of the museum? Then Festival Beyond the Black Box is meant for you. Festival Beyond the Black Box is the festival for art that gets under your skin. A journey of discovery along all kinds of senses, art forms and spaces that stretches perception and the live encounter with the audience is central. NB The stated end time is an indication.

Festival Beyond the Black Box - Exploring Live Arts

For four days, Flemish Cultural Centre de Brakke Grond will be bubbling and seething with art that stretches our perception. From an architectural bouncy castle and a tripping workshop to live concerts, intriguing city walks and intimate encounters: the works appeal to all the senses and cannot be pinned down to one genre or discipline and always arise on the spot. The entire building (and surroundings) are used for this voyage of discovery, even the broom cupboard. When you observe not only with your eyes but with your entire body, a performer, object or space – just like the world – has unsuspected sides and dimensions. Best tip? Immerse yourself in the (sensitive) freedom that curious artists from Flanders and the Netherlands have taken and enjoy.
